My mom got dried apricots from the market and keeps telling me to have them daily for iron. Im in 2nd trimester and just want to be sure its safe na, both fresh and dried? Anyone been eating them?
Arre absolutely khao yaar! Apricots are so good, but don't eat the whole packet in one sitting or you'll spend your day in the washroom. Balance is key, enjoy the sweet cravings!
When I was registered at Fortis, my nutritionist there gave me a complete chart and apricots were definitely on it. She just mentioned to buy organic ones and wash them thoroughly. If you are still unsure, just drop a message to your hospital care coordinator.
According to my tracker app, apricots are packed with folic acid and calcium which is great for the baby. Just keep the portions small because dried ones have high sugar. 2 or 3 dry ones a day is the sweet spot.
Honestly, when my nausea was at its worst, dried apricots were one of the few things I could actually keep down. The tangy taste really helped with that metallic mouth feeling. Try taking small bites first to see if it suits you.
Yes, apricots are very rich in iron and fiber. My gynac actually told me to eat 2-3 dried ones daily to help with my hemoglobin levels. Just wash fresh ones properly to avoid any bacteria.
Oh my toddler is running around now, but I remember hogging on fresh apricots when I was pregnant! They are totally fine and safe to eat. Enjoy this phase and eat what makes you happy, stress free.
I am in my 36th week and eating dried apricots like popcorn honestly. They help with the massive constipation problem also, which is a life saver right now. Just go for it, your sweet tooth will thank u.
Dear, after my long IVF journey, I was super scared about every single fruit. But my doc reassured me that moderate amounts of apricots are completely safe and actually healthy. Eat them without stress, baby will be perfectly fine.
